We are approaching your five month birthday. You are my joy, Bunny. I wish I had hours to just stare into your face and smile together and laugh and play. We do this all the time but I always wish I had more. I love you, sweet girl. You are so expressive and noisy these days, learning about your voice and all the sounds you can make. Shrieking, growling, and rawring are my favorites! You wake up twice a night now, sometimes three (RIP) since you started this sleep regression a few weeks ago. The Lord helps me and sustains us. I actually feel pretty okay most of the time, usually a tired spell in the later afternoon around 3pm but pretty energized and able to manage most days. I’ve had some aches and pains here and there as you’ve gotten bigger – headaches, shoulder tension for a few days at a time. You are napping longer now and are awake a little longer at a time too. I love to play and read with you!

I so enjoy you and the little person you are growing into. Daddy and I are terribly excited to walk with you and teach you all the things. We are constantly praying for you. We are thankful for you every moment of every day. The Lord is teaching us to rely on him more and more and we are so humbled he gave us you.
